Of Last Song Syndromes, Dear Lonely.

By on April 13, 2012

We have moments that upon hearing a particular song, it gets stuck with us. You keep singing it, humming it, listening to it. Whether you like the song or not, it does and people call it “Last Song Syndrome” or LSS.

I’m into a particular song for a week or so now, to the point that I can almost perfect the lyrics. The tune is catchy and easy to learn so I don’t have problems with it. I do have the intention to learn the song so I can sing it, but not to the point that I didn’t know why I’m so attached to it.

Training: Etsy & Hacker School Join Forces to Bring in More Female Programmers

By on April 12, 2012

Ever since I stepped into college, I noticed there were only a few female students studying Computer Science, Information Technology, and all Engineering courses in my university. In my class, a third of it is composed of girls. There are some blocks that have less than 5.

Given that computer-related courses is in the top three choices of most students who enter college, the numbers are small, as is the number of female instructors.

Wait, HACKER school?

One of the factors that affect our productivity is our work place. Whether as a student or a professional, we aim to be in an environment where our imagination and creativity is heightened, a place we are comfortable to stay even in long hours and a space that clearly spells “This is me!”.

It is not all the time we get to choose where we work or decorate it. Freelancers and virtual assistants do get to choose though.

Being location-independent, here’s one of my dream set-up:

Looks very productive for writing. A great view, the calmness of the sea, the weather. Perfect ♥

Lots more of these coming. What’s yours? 🙂

Every Office Girl’s Dilemma: Smart Casual

By on April 4, 2012

I got into looking for clothes to pin up on one of my Pinterest boards. I suddenly remembered that next week will be the earliest time for one of my plans to be put in motion and I don’t have proper clothes for it.

I honestly don’t have the budget to go shopping now, since I haven’t been paid yet for any of my projects. Hopefully either I get money next week and buy some essentials or the start date gets rescheduled or another plan pushes through.

Me, shopping? Surprise, surprise! My friends know me getting most of my clothes hands-me-down (ala Harry Potter). I do buy some rarely and alone. :))

See the styles I’m aiming for, smart casual ones that are suitable for tropical weather (with little alterations considering my size :3):
